Damien and the whole energy of this gym is welcoming. But actually, not just something said. Whether your new or 25 years this place is happy for you to be here. While I also being as good hard place to learn and roll.
Shape Jiu Jitsu is an awesome gym with a great atmosphere and high-quality coaching. Damien does a fantastic job running the gym and makes everyone feel welcome, whether you're a complete beginner or have years of experience. Highly recommend Shape Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking to learn and improve their BJJ.
My 5 year old started Jiu Jitsu here 2 months ago and it has been amazing!!!!
He loves it. Great community and great coaches. Shout out to coach Jason and coach Damo. They are both great with kids.
Great friendly club ideal for families.
We were visiting Canberra for a week and our 7 year old obsessed boy wanted to do some training whilst on holidays.
Would like to thank coach Jas and team for making us feel welcome and highly recommended for families to give team a visit.
Shape is a great jiu jitsu gym with an awesome community and top-quality training.
Coach Damo is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive — he has created a truly safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.
The facilities are always spotless and well cared.
Highly recommend trying Shape Jiu Jitsu, whether you’re brand new to the sport or an experienced athlete - it’s the perfect place to train, learn, and grow!
More than a BJJ gym, it’s my second family. Such a welcoming atmosphere for all ages and abilities. The beginners program is great for anyone that is interested in getting started, we have multiple black belts who are great leaders and teach very well. The kids program is fantastic, my children have developed such a great mindset both on and off the mats. I personally love fundamentals and the Saturday morning 11:00AM no Gi class are my favourites. Damo is an amazing coach, mentor and teacher, I’m so grateful to be apart of such a great community with likeminded people. Absolutely recommend, especially to those that have been thinking about trying, but have been hesitant to do so. There is no judgement at Shape, only open minded people who want the best for you, I can assure you.
I've trained no gi at shape for more than 6 months and have had nothing but positive experiences. Damo is an excellent and knowledgeable instructor who has plenty of time for all of his students, and he is supported by a great group of higher level belts.
The gym itself is incredibly large, clean and open with lots of fresh air and natural light hitting the mats everyday.
Finally, the location of the gym is excellent, right next to capital brewing, barrio coffee, a gym and stacks of free parking.
Training BJJ at Shape has been an awesome experience. The coaches are highly skilled, down-to-earth, and always take the time to help you improve your technique. The atmosphere is friendly, supportive, and welcoming to all levels — whether you’re brand new or have been training for years. Every session is challenging, fun, and leaves you wanting to come back for more. Couldn’t recommend Shape enough for anyone looking to learn BJJ and be part of a great community!
I’ve been training at Shape for a few months now and it’s an amazing, clean gym with such a friendly and helpful crew. Damien, the head coach is so knowledgeable and has a knack of being able to brake down complex concepts so they can be consumed and implemented by all levels.
My son does kids classes and he loves them. The task based games used in these classes lets the kids learn BJJ while staying fully engaged and not loosing attention.
